In recent years, the belief that teachers are unwilling or unable to implement appropri-ate assessment procedures has contributed to the rapid expansion of high stakes, standardized testing in schools. Supporters of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) have contrasted teachers' assessment practices with standardized testing, arguing that teacher-created classroom assess-ments lack the technical characteristics required to produce trustworthy measures of student learning or compare large populations of students.Research Question/Focus of Study: Through a case study of New York City's Central Park East Secondary School (CPESS), in the years when it served as a model for progressive American school reform, Duckor and Perlstein demonstrate the usefulness of an alternative to reliance on the technical characteristics of standardized tests for constructing and judging assessments: teachers' self-conscious and reasoned articulation of their approaches to learning and assessment.Research Design: In order to determine CPESS teachers' assessment practices and the pro-cess through which they were developed, Duckor and Perlstein conducted semi-structured oral history interviews with a sample of CPESS teachers. They triangulated teachers' recollections through a content analysis of course assignments, rubrics, grading reports, and other artifacts of assessment at CPESS. The sources of this data included published accounts of CPESS and primary sources provided by teachers or uncovered in archival research.Conclusions/Recommendations: Duckor and Perlstein conclude that when teachers are given opportunities for genuine, shared reflection on teaching and learning and classroom practices are tied to this understanding, fidelity to what they call the logic of assessment

Teachers College Record, 116, 020301 (2014)2Educational researchers have long lamented the gap between the types of assessments they develop and those common among teachers. "Over the last century," Rick Stiggins (2001) argues, "sound assessment" has failed to enter into "the day-to-day practice of instruction" in American schools (p. 5). Administrators' and teachers' assessment practices, researchers argue, have contributed to inaccurate judgments about students' knowl-edge and limited the usefulness of educators' feedback, thus hamper-ing countless students from reaching their full academic potential (Linn, 2000; Meyer, 1996; Popham, 2004).In recent years, the belief that teachers are unwilling or unable to im-plement appropriate assessment procedures has contributed to the rap-id expansion of high stakes, standardized testing in schools. Supporters of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) have contrasted teachers' assessment practices with standardized testing, arguing that teacher-created class-room assessments lack the technical characteristics required to produce trustworthy measures of student learning. Moreover, advocates of NCLB argue that a lack of standardization protocols and procedures pre-cludes the use of scores derived from teacher-constructed assessments to compare large populations of students. While critics of the approach to schooling promoted by NCLB (and now Race to the Top) have fre-quently claimed that it negatively impacts teaching and learning, they have rarely offered a persuasive alternative model for assessment itself.Ironically, at the very moment when policymakers were moving to make standardized testing a defining feature of K-12 schooling, a model of teaching that relied on the logic of sound educational assessment was being developed, with relatively little input from measurement experts or policy elites, in a New York City public school. Situated in Harlem and serving the area's youth, Central Park East Secondary School (CPESS) offered a progressive, constructivist pedagogy to economically and politi-cally marginalized students. The school's goals reached beyond conven-tional questions of subject content mastery as measured by standardized Regents exams to include readiness to graduate from high school, attend a four-year college, find a productive, meaningful career, and engage in civic life. In the last years of the twentieth century and the first years offers a more promising framework for the improvement of schooling than current forms of high-stakes, standardized accountability. Thus, instead of expecting teachers to rely on data from standardized assessments or replicate features of standardized testing in their own as-sessment practices, researchers, policymakers and teacher educators should promote fidelity to the broader logic of assessment.

TCR, 116, 020301 Teaching to the Test at Central Park East3of the twenty-first, CPESS served as the flagship of American secondary school reform. School founder Deborah Meier's The Power of Their Ideas and Frederick Wiseman's documentary High School II, along with the re-ports of countless visitors, touted CPESS's achievements, and educators and reformers across the nation sought to replicate the school (Darling-Hammond, Ancess, & Falk, 1995; Darling-Hammond, Ancess, & Ort, 2002; Due, 2002; Newmann & Associates, 1996; OUSD, 2000; Pearlman, 2002; Shah, Mediratta, & McAlister, 2009; Sizer, 1996).The efforts of CPESS's creators were facilitated by the policy and po-litical environment of the times. In the 1980s and 1990s, New York City public school chancellors, teacher union leaders, and reformers, along with state officials, increasingly turned to teacher-led alternative pro-grams and constructivist pedagogies as keys to improving urban educa-tion. With a "waiver" from New York's Regent's Diploma requirements, CPESS and a growing number of small public schools were able to pursue educational reforms that emphasized personalization, critical thinking, real world experience, and respect for the individual child. CPESS's in-fluential backers included the Center for Collaborative Education and the Coalition of Essential Schools, and supporters ranged from newspa-per tycoon and Reagan administration insider Walter Annenberg to the stalwart liberal senator from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy. In the decade and a half following CPESS's 1985 founding, a teacher-designed and -implemented assessment system played a central role at the school. Learning by doing became synonymous with assessing by do-ing. At countless meetings, CPESS teachers considered what the ways students used their knowledge revealed about student progress and achievement in the classroom. They debated ways that the interpreta-tion and use of classroom data could serve students' learning trajecto-ries and development. In thinking through their data, CPESS teachers were also attentive to fundamental issues in educational measurement and assessment such as score generalizability; construct validation; and rater reliability—without always using this "professional" language. Demonstrating remarkable fidelity to the individual elements of sound assessment (i.e., the use of well-defined learning targets, multiple item types, and consistent scoring procedures), these teachers addressed the elements' relationship to one another, and to the vision of constructivist teaching and learning that animated their school.Not surprisingly, teachers focused on particular students and the local trajectories of their learning tended to produce classroom assessments that appear weak by the technical criteria of standardized testing. For instance, individual teachers cannot produce test results that allow for comparisons among student populations beyond their classrooms. Still,
Page 4
Teachers College Record, 116, 020301 (2014)4using Central Park East Secondary School as a case study, we argue that policies driven by these concerns mistake the means used to ensure rigor in standardized tests for the first principles of the science of sound assess-ment. We offer an alternative model of how to conceptualize classroom assessment, one that relies on what we call the logic of assessment.By logic of assessment we mean the underlying principles of assessment design (NRC, 2001). The development of any sound assessment begins with a series of fundamental questions, one leading to the next. What do I want students to learn? How do I want them to use that knowledge? How can I discover whether they can do so? What kinds of evidence allow for meaningful, consistent interpretations of student learning? Efforts to adhere to this logic have led those developing standardized tests to a number of crucial concepts, such as validity and reliability. But the tech-niques used to address such concerns are themselves tied to particular forms of student evaluation. In recent years policymakers have conflated the means of producing sound standardized tests with the inherent char-acteristics of all sound assessments. Focusing on the fundamental logic of assessment rather than on particular techniques of standardized tests can provide educators with a principled stance with which to frame critiques of NCLB.Moreover, a focus on the logic of assessment—instead of the psycho-metric techniques for producing standardized scores—attends to the entire classroom learning process, not just the measureable knowledge that can be detected at a particular testing occasion. Such a framework can help teachers to deepen their thinking about what and how they are teaching and deepen their knowledge of what students are learning, how they are learning it, and how they are able to use that knowledge. Thus, formulating assessment in terms of its logic before attending to its techniques has far greater potential than the type of assessment pro-moted by NCLB to enrich teaching and learning. In their attentiveness to the relationship of the individual elements of assessment to one an-other, CPESS's teachers offer an exemplary case of fidelity to the logic of assessment.METHODOLOGY AND DATA SOURCESIn order to examine how CPESS's teachers came to understand the logic of assessment and were able to make effective use of assessment data generated within their school, this study combines the methodologies of collaborative research and oral history. Both methodologies foreground the perspectives and sensemaking of participants.The research team included present and former New York public school teachers who were instrumental in the development of CPESS's
Page 5
TCR, 116, 020301 Teaching to the Test at Central Park East5approach to teaching and learning, together with two university re-searchers—one a historian of education, and the other an assessment scholar who had previously taught at CPESS. The collaborative research project included numerous in-person and web-based meetings over sev-eral years.Working iteratively, the team developed a semi-structured interview guide that solicited data on a number of topics, including teachers' ca-reer paths, experience at CPESS, ideals about learning and approaches to teaching. One section of the guide focused specifically on assessment. The interviews were designed both to reveal commonalities among teach-ers and to attend to the uniqueness of individual experience. The histo-rian of education on the research team, who has no personal connection to CPESS, conducted the interviews, beginning with the core group of teachers who had participated in designing the guide.All interviews were conducted in person at locations chosen by infor-mants and were audiotaped. Most lasted approximately one-and-a-half hours. Oral historians have long recognized the need to design and conduct interviews that elicit full recollection while discouraging bias. To do so, we questioned teachers about events at CPESS rather than asking them to recall their former attitudes and opinions (Gant, 1987). Interviews started with broad questions and then narrowed to more specific topics (Patton, 2002; Spradley, 1979). The initial assessment questions avoided technical terms in order not to exaggerate teachers' levels of technical understanding and engagement (Dougherty, 1999). However, if teachers did not initiate use of technical terms, we probed about teachers' technical knowledge. Based on data from the oral histories, together with archival and pub-lished sources, we identified the group of CPESS teachers who had been most influential in shaping the school in its formative years. We then approached the CPESS teachers who were not part of the research team to be interviewed; we were able to interview 8 of the 11 teachers we iden-tified as most influential in shaping the school. This expanded set of interviews produced most of the data used in this study. We also constructed a database of more than 80 teachers who had taught at CPESS, with their disciplines, institutional locations, and years of em-ployment at the school. We then conducted semi-structured interviews with a sample of these teachers to gain in-depth understanding of their experiences. The choice of which teachers to interview reflected numer-ous factors including the recommendation of other teachers, the avail-ability of contact information, and the desire to include teachers from a diverse group of informants. These interviews largely followed the same format as the earlier ones. That is, we posed questions from the protocol
Page 6
Teachers College Record, 116, 020301 (2014)6to all interviewees, probing on responses based on recurrent themes, particularly focused on their experience with Habits of Mind, portfolio assessment, and other related classroom-level assessment practices.The potential interview sample bias in our study risks overstating the importance of viewpoints held by more senior teachers at CPESS, many of whom were founders of the school, served on our collaborative re-search team, and worked closely with school leader Deborah Meier in the early years (1985-1995). We address this, in part, by interviewing a number of younger teachers who came to the school in later years (1995-2002). Although we cannot claim that this sample was representative of CPESS teachers, the data from them on the culture of the school and the processes through which new teachers were inducted into it were consis-tent across such differences as race, gender, and subject matter.All interviews were transcribed. The two university researchers inde-pendently analyzed the transcripts. The historian read for emergent themes; the assessment expert in terms of the technical characteristics of assessment (constructs, items design, scorer calibration, rater reliabil-ity, validation, et cetera). This procedure enabled us to combine induc-tive and deductive approaches to data analysis (Eisner, 1991; Epstein & Martin, 2005). Moreover, we analyzed the transcripts not only for the themes they contained but also for the narrative structure and logic by means of which informants connected one theme or topic to another (A. M. Miles & Huberman, 1994). To do so and in keeping with our collab-orative approach, we relied on large extracts of text as units of analysis. We triangulated oral history recollections through content analysis of varied artifacts of assessment at CPESS. The sources of these data includ-ed published accounts of CPESS, items saved by the teachers we inter-viewed, and extensive archival research. Evidence from documents such as rubrics, course syllabi and assignments, grading period reports, vid-eotaped lessons, digital projects, graduation committee presentations, portfolio documents, and public presentations by teachers produced findings consistent with teachers' accounts of the school's "alternative assessment" mission, viewpoint on standardized testing, and the role of the Habits of Mind in shaping portfolio graduation aims and purposes (Darling-Hammond et al., 1995; Duckor, 1999, 2001; Gold & Lanzoni, 1993). Unless otherwise indicated, the oral history interviews are the source of quotations throughout the article. We use pseudonyms to protect the identity of the interview subjects. While we analyzed the entire in-terview transcripts, most of the data came from the interview questions that addressed the logic and artifacts of assessment at Central Park East Secondary School.

TCR, 116, 020301 Teaching to the Test at Central Park East7THE ASSESSMENT TRIANGLE AND THE LOGIC OF ASSESSMENTThe National Research Council (2001)—representing those Stiggins (2001) called the nation's "measurement experts"—suggests the crucial elements of any well-designed assessment system. "Every assessment," the Council argues,is based on three interconnected elements: a theory of what stu-dents know and how to develop competence in a subject domain (cognition); tasks or situations used to collect evidence about stu-dent performance (observation); and a method for drawing infer-ences from those observations (interpretation). (p. 36)Moreover, as the Council notes,A crucial point is that each of the three elements of the assess-ment triangle not only must make sense on its own, but also must connect to each of the other elements in a meaningful way to lead to an effective assessment and sound inference. (p. 49)The National Research Council terms these three elements and their interrelationship "the Assessment Triangle."At Central Park East Secondary School, a multifaceted theory of cog-nition, the Habits of Mind, constituted the first pillar of the Assessment Triangle. Five Habits of Mind formed the cornerstone of CPESS's cur-riculum, through which it sought to develop the intellectual engagement, skepticism, and empathy it placed at the core of democratic thinking. In keeping with its focus on active inquiry, these habits were cast as questions: How do you know what you know? (Evidence)From whose point of view is this being presented? (Perspective)How is this event or work connected to others? What causes what? (Connection)What if things were different? (Supposition) Who cares? Why is this important? (Relevance)According to CPESS educators, the Habits of Mind simultaneously re-flected the essential questions of intellectuals and scholars working across the range of academic disciplines, focused lessons on genuine, higher order learning, and promoted the critical intelligence and problem solv-ing necessary for democratic life. The shared public commitment to the Habits of Mind not only allowed students to know what was expected of them, but also allowed teachers to know what they could expect of each

The Habits of Mind permeated lessons, classroom assignments, science labs, Socratic seminars, and other academic exercises. They were also evident at school plays and convocations, in conflict mediation sessions, at internship debriefings, in the principal's office, at staff meetings, and so forth. Together, they constituted a deeply constructivist theory of stu-dent cognition that drove teaching, learning, and assessment at CPESS. Still, the Habits of Mind could apply to a range of pedagogical approach-es. Teaching and learning at CPESS relied on a curriculum of projects and problem solving to enact Deweyan ideals of democratic learning and life. "If ideas, meaning, conception, notions, theories, systems are instrumen-tal to an active reorganization of the given environment," Dewey (1920) argued, "they are reliable, sound, valid, good, true" (p. 128). Assessment, according to this logic, does not merely confirm learning; the successful display and application of knowledge is an integral element of knowledge itself. Echoing Dewey and the larger constructivist tradition in education (Popkewitz, 1998), the concept and logic of assessment at CPESS was inte-grated into the culture of teaching and learning. Students demonstrated mastery of the Habits of Mind through a body of evidence that CPESS educators referred to as "graduation by portfo-lio." In the technical language of assessment, these portfolios constituted the observations that formed the second pillar of the Assessment Triangle. Portfolios served as records of individual students' understanding of ma-jor subject areas: math, science, English language arts, history, and art. Each portfolio contained a set of student work referred to as "exhibi-tions." Paper-and-pencil tests, performance tasks, simulations, real-world projects, and many other "items" were included as evidence of learning. To demonstrate the development of their thinking, students often in-cluded work from ninth grade alongside of work products developed in the eleventh and twelfth grades (Darling-Hammond et al., 1995).Preparation of portfolios shaped instruction in all CPESS classes throughout the year. Although the portfolios reflected different sub-ject matter domains, all this disparate material and information was or-ganized around the five "big ideas" articulated in the Habits of Mind. Similarly, CPESS classes focused on the Habits of Mind along with sub-ject matter content knowledge.Students defended their portfolios before committees led by CPESS teachers. These presentations both reinforced the notion that a cru-cial aspect of knowledge was its use and facilitated teachers' shared un-derstanding of the Habits of Mind and how mastery of them could be
Page 9

Using rubrics, exemplars, and scorer moderation tech-niques, CPESS educators developed interpretations—the third pillar of the Assessment Triangle—that met the technical requirements of a viable, legitimate assessment system yielding valid and reliable inferences about student achievement (see, e.g., Wilson & Sloane, 2000). The "graduation by portfolio" assessment system provided at least three levels of analysis of student work, each intended to yield a mean-ingful inference about a particular student's skills and proficiencies. At the first level of analysis/inference, teachers provided assessments of stu-dent progress in their courses, conceptualized in terms of the progress students were making toward the production of portfolios. CPESS used both letter grades and narrative evaluations of coursework to provide stakeholders such as students, administrators, parents, and other teach-ers with an emerging picture of the students' progress towards mastery of the school curriculum and the Habits of Mind. The narrative evaluations, in particular, enabled teachers to frame assessments in terms of students' ability to use the Habits of Mind. Statements such as "generally knowl-edgeable, can make connections between the material we study and her knowledge of the world in general," and "she was able, through questions in her oral presentation, to make a number of sophisticated arguments, and make connections between situations of Black Americans in revo-lutionary times and now" epitomized the role of the Habits of Mind in assessment practices (Tyner-Mullings, 2008, p. 61).At the second level of analysis/inference, when students submitted their written portfolios to their advisor, a rubric was used to formally evaluate the level of mastery demonstrated by the exhibitions or what assessment researchers might call "evidence" submitted. Evidence for mastery of the Habits of Mind ranged from video documentaries to essays to lab reports and all manner of project-based activities embedded in the curriculum. CPESS's scoring guides and rubrics were closely aligned with the Habits of Mind, that is, the cognitive learning outcomes promoted by the school community—across disciplines and divisions. At the third level of analysis and inference, a graduation committee independently evaluated the student's mastery of the learning outcomes by examining the written records contained in the portfolios and hearing an oral presentation of the material in them. Recognizing that the full sum of student achievement was unlikely to be accurately represented at any particular time or event, graduation committees were settings in which teachers could share concerns about the meaningfulness ("valid-ity") of inferences drawn from the limited samples of student work, as well as the consistency (or "rater reliability") of scores among committee members (Darling-Hammond et al., 1995).
Page 10
Teachers College Record, 116, 020301 (2014)10While CPESS teachers worked to uphold "technically" or psycho-metrically sound principles in the interpretation of student evidence, they also tried to see the student's performance in the context of the whole child (Chittenden & Wallace, 1991; Wolf, Bixby, Glen, & Gardner, 1991), knowledge of which depended on the relationship an individual teacher had built with an individual student. Factors such as the student's socio-emotional well-being, family life, struggles with reading and writ-ing, status in the community, and so forth were deemed meaningful to making a judgment (Lieberman, 1995). CPESS teachers thus sought si-multaneously to produce comparable assessments of students' learning and to situate learning in the unique situation of each student. While the dilemmas CPESS teachers faced are especially apparent in school-based performance assessments, the tension between an appreciation of the unique situation and learning of any individual and a commit-ment to validity, reliability, and generalizability in evaluating assessment data should concern all educators (Kane & Mitchell, 1996; Moss, 1992; Shavelson, Baxter & Gao, 1993). CPESS's approach contrasts with the disaggregation of student data in NCLB. The use of racial and other sub-groups in NCLB might be a useful first step in attending to differences among students but it still reduces the complexity of social, political, cul-tural, and economic life to simplified and monolithic categories.Graduation committee deliberations about portfolio defenses, as they were called, were occasions not only for the assessment of individual students but also for coordinating common standards of judgment and reflection on the dilemmas of obtaining valid and reliable assessment information. Together with administrators, staff, and parents, teachers also reviewed sample portfolios, occasionally with outside experts, for example, from Teachers College and Brown University, in professional development sessions. Many times CPESS teachers and administrators grappled with the problem of what measurement experts call item sam-pling, that is, how to generalize about an overall level of student perfor-mance based on potentially insufficient data. These struggles were par-ticularly intense in cases where a student was on the "borderline" and not clearly ready to pass her graduation committee without revision of the academic work (Gold & Lanzoni, 1993). Again, the contrast with NCLB is useful. Whereas the current assessment regime encourages teachers and administrators to game the system by focusing on students at the cusp of passing scores in test-taking skills, CPESS promoted teacher accountabil-ity through public discussion of students' ability to use knowledge in the worlds of college, work, and civic life.A final level of inference warranted by insiders and outsiders was col-lege admission and completion. In fact, year after year, more than 90%
Page 11
TCR, 116, 020301 Teaching to the Test at Central Park East11of CPESS graduates enrolled in college, including many highly selec-tive institutions (K. H. Miles & Darling-Hammond, 1998). In a study of CPESS graduates, Bensman (2000) reported positive results for students who went on to attend post-secondary institutions. In the parlance of educational measurement, the predictive validity of CPESS' graduation "scores" could be inferred, in part, by their positive correlation with suc-cess for graduates in college. LISTENING TO TEACHERS' TALK ABOUT ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNINGWhat did CPESS's vision of assessment and school-based accountability look like to its adherents? How was that vision similar to and different from these teachers' experience of more traditional approaches to test-ing and grading? Why did they embrace a new culture of portfolio-based assessment, even when they recognized the wider institutionalized an-chors that discouraged pedagogical reform? In order to uncover teach-ers' thinking about these questions, this research relies on the voices of CPESS teachers themselves.By recasting these teachers' vision of accountability in the language of technical expertise in educational assessment and measurement, we run the risk of ascribing values and motives that our subjects may not have held and obscuring other motives that informed their work. To the ex-tent possible, we address this challenge by letting CPESS teachers speak for themselves in the text.While many CPESS teachers, together with the MacArthur Foundation, saw school founder Deborah Meier as a genius whose uniqueness pre-cludes attempts to generalize from her example, the teachers themselves have far more in common with other experienced public school teachers. As Deborah Meier (1995) argued, "we are [not] more caring than other teachers or other schools" (p. 62). Rather, "we have a structure and a style that enables us to show our care effectively." As researchers have noted, school organizational structures (including class size, departmental divi-sions, curriculum sequencing, and tracking – even use of physical space) can facilitate or impede both teachers' and students' work. Teachers are typically alone when they examine student work and think about student performance (Little, Gearhart, Curry, & Kafka, 2003). CPESS, on the other hand, was organized in order to maximize teachers' collaborative capacities to reflect on student growth. The school's use of block sched-uling, advisory, teacher-team meetings, and graduation committees en-abled teachers to leave the isolation of their own classrooms and "buy time" to think together about the meaning of student work and academic achievement in the broader contexts of the school's improvement.
Page 12
Teachers College Record, 116, 020301 (2014)12CPESS's structure and vision, rather than the unique attributes of CPESS's teachers, fostered open, critical, yet non-threatening discussions among teachers through which they developed understanding of and commitment to the school's approach to teaching and assessment. Even if the very decision to work at CPESS signals the distinctiveness of these teachers, much of their thinking and practice resonates with that of their peers in so-called unreformed schools.CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT AT CPESSCPESS built on the pedagogy and renown of the Central Park East el-ementary schools, from which it drew much of its vision and many of its students. Troubled that graduates of the elementary schools were con-signed to traditional middle and high schools, Deborah Meier and like-minded teachers established CPESS in 1985. The school's "fundamental aim," according to its handbook for 11th and 12th graders, was "to teach students to use their minds well." CPESS's vision of "authentic learning," educational researcher Linda Darling-Hammond and her associates (1995) argue, was epitomized "when a student challenges himself with a self-initiated question that he is driven to find the answer to" (p. 21). Or, in the words of CPESS math teacher James W., "the mission of CPESS [was] to support kids to become independent thinkers."CPESS envisioned active, engaged learning as a prerequisite for a life of active, engaged democratic citizenship. "My ideas on teaching and learning," Deborah Meier reflected, "focus on 'small d' democratic val-ues. I mean a respect for diversity, a respect for the potential of each individual person, a respect for opposing points of view, and a respect for intellectual vigor. My concern is with how students become critical thinkers and problem solvers, which is what a democratic society needs" (Fliegel, 1994). "School," Meier and Paul Schwartz (1995), who succeeded her as prin-cipal, argued, "must be a place where students learn the habits of mind, work, and heart that lie at the core of such a democracy. Since you can't learn to be good at something you've never experienced–even vicari-ously–then it stands to reason that schools are a good place to experience what such democratic habits might be" (p. 28). CPESS's vision owed more to John Dewey's injunction (1900) that "what the best and wisest parent wants for his own child; that must the community want for all its children" (p. 7) than to contemporary mul-ticulturalism. Unlike many of today's reformers who conceptualize stu-dents' interest as grounded in the particularity of ethnic, racial, or gen-der identities (Tate, 1995), CPESS was grounded in the conviction that
Page 13
TCR, 116, 020301 Teaching to the Test at Central Park East13democratic education connected the particular interests of the individual to the shared interests of the entire society. Still, to guide students to what was "best and wisest," the school did not rely on the transformative potential of charismatic teachers recruited from elite colleges and uni-versities (Dobbie & Fryer, 2009; Kopp, 2003) but rather focused on the organizational conditions of students' and teachers' work. "We created a structure," Deborah Meier and Paul Schwartz observed, "in which people . . . could think aloud together and jointly make decisions" (1995, p. 29).CPESS's creation was part of a broader campaign, led by educa-tor Theodore Sizer and the Coalition of Essential Schools, to reform American high schools. This movement was grounded in the conviction that studying a few things well and deeply rather than covering many topics superficially fosters an ongoing capacity to think and learn; that authentic learning is characterized by the active solving of real problems; that the role of the teacher is to guide such explorations rather than to pour knowledge into student "vessels"; that the results of inquiry into authentic problems should be displayed publicly; that all students are entitled to a demanding and engaging education; and that for such an education to take place, personalized teaching and learning and caring relationships between teachers and students needed to displace the ano-nymity of factory or shopping mall high schools. Eventually enrolling some 450 7th through 12th graders, CPESS appealed both to educators who argued that large high schools fostered student anonymity and dis-engagement and to those who attributed student failure to a superficial curriculum unconnected with thoughtfulness or obvious relevancy to stu-dents' lives.The Coalition's principles infused CPESS efforts. The seventh- and eighth- grade U.S. history course was organized around the study of pow-er rather than a narration of two centuries' worth of events (Kirp, 1989). "Because we were focused on big ideas," adds English teacher Mary M., There would be a lot of different ways to look at subject matter. If we were studying the government, we would focus on ways to engage kids. Why should we study government? What's important about doing it? How different countries vary in their governments. If we were studying government and then went to the United States, we might read To Kill a Mockingbird and figure out what you might learn about government from reading a novel, so there were lots of different ways to get to a concept or an understanding. . . We really always started with big ideas and developed activities in service of the big ideas. There were broad content areas, but the Habits of Mind really pushed learning as the central piece.
Page 14
Teachers College Record, 116, 020301 (2014)14The learning process was no less important than content. According to co-directors Deborah Meier and Paul Schwartz, CPESS educators "or-ganized our curriculum and assessment around the idea that a person in the habit of looking for answers to the five [Habits of Mind] questions when presented with a novel situation is using his or her mind well" (Meier & Schwartz, 1995, p. 30). "The whole idea," math teacher Betty B. would recall, "was that, for example . . . if you're learning history, you want to be doing it. Or if they're truly learning how to write, are they asked to write, and for which audience, and what kind of genre? Or if you're really studying science, you're learning about science content, [but also] who are you as a scientist." Social studies teacher Brian D. was initially hired at CPESS to teach a world history course. Although he found the school deeply engaging, the course itself left him cold. "Look," he said to his colleagues, I want to teach economics. I want to teach it as Habits of Mind to answer these enduring questions—what is value? Who creates it? How should wealth be distributed according to the perspectives of classical economists like Smith, Ricardo, and Malthus? The Habits of Mind can be used to answer fundamental questions about eco-nomics. At the time the issue of rent control was really hot in New York City. The Habits of Mind allowed me to make connections between classic economics texts and the media reports of the rent control debate. We'd read articles from different sources—The New York Times, The Post, The Economist—dealing with the debate going on in the city. Perspective: do media accounts represent the landlords' perspective? The workers' perspective? The capi-talist perspective? What in the texts suggests connections between rent control and other social issues? Classroom discussions were personal and lively: "So what if rents are raised? Who gets hurt? Who are you in this debate? Are you advocating for landlords or for renters? Are you advocating for your personal opinion and interests or more globally based on some principle of economics?" My colleagues were fairly agnostic around what topics or texts to include in the course. You just had to deliver the goods—exhibi-tions leading to portfolios around the Habits of Mind.In the words of Darling-Hammond and her associates (1995), CPESS and other Coalition schools promoted "high standards without standard-ization" (p. 22). Such a goal did not eliminate the need for students to master content or for teachers to cover traditional curriculum topics, but it centered assessment on broader and more enduring, but also more amorphous matters in settings closer to practical life.
Page 15
TCR, 116, 020301 Teaching to the Test at Central Park East15ASSESSING FOR STUDENT LEARNINGPortfolios formed the capstone of CPESS's curriculum and assessment. The school's portfolio assessment process was inspired by a 1987 visit to Walden III, an alternative public school in Racine, Wisconsin (Henderson & Raywid, 1994). In order to graduate from CPESS, students had to pres-ent a series of discipline-based portfolios to committees composed of a teacher with subject expertise, the student's advisor, another adult from inside or outside of the school, and a student peer from a lower grade. (At first 14 portfolios were required; later the number was reduced to 7). Relying on a rubric that assessed the portfolio according to each of the five Habits of Mind, the committee would deliberate and then share its deliberations with the student. At portfolio presentations, Mary M. recalls,You have a humanities teacher if it's a humanities portfolio. You have the advisor; you have perhaps a parent, another student; you have a diverse group who then have to talk and use evidence from the rubric. "Well I don't think she had enough evidence on this particular thing." "Well, yes she does. If you look on page 4 . . . " So there would be a discussion among the committee to eval-uate the demonstration of mastery. You have to discuss it and agree on where you think the presentation and portfolio falls. At an early portfolio presentation, a student presented a study of the effectiveness of various commercially marketed antacids. After the com-mittee deliberated, Melissa T. told the student,I gave the paper an 18 [out of 20]. I thought it was a wonderful paper. It went well beyond the scope of the initial experiment; it was clear that you knew what you were doing in the experiment; and I loved the way it was written. . . . I gave you a 4 [out of 5] on the presentation, because I was somewhat disappointed in your ability to explain pH, although I felt that you handled the rest of the presentation and questions quite well (Darling-Hammond et al., 1995, p. 22)Still, CPESS did not conceptualize portfolios as collections of a stu-dent's work in a given subject. Rather, as Mary M., explains, It was a specific project that demonstrated your understanding of the major concepts of that particular field. So a history portfo-lio, or a science portfolio, would be a project in that field where you entered into a period of discovery and research. You started

What kind of tango would you call this? I hate to ask to have things broken down into categories, but there seems to be a lot of that going around these days
Thank you,
Pete | The Tango Notebook
Pete, my general impression is tango nuevo to traditional music. ( The open embrace, the very large steps covering so much of the floor, her boleos, etc.) However, I'm currently obsessed with miloguero-close embrace, so I don't know.
Even then, it's an interesting performance, isn't it?

Day in Elk Rock State Park - Des Moines, Iowa
Today I thought we'd start the post on the topic of injuries. RV livin' certainly takes a physical toll on your body. I have already encountered a few minor injuries, most of them including a head bump. It took a few times to learn when I am getting into the passenger seat to not pop my head up too high when stepping on the running board. There is the overhang there and that really hurts when you step up and hit the top of your head! I ...

The question we were asked the most often in Iowa probably was "have you heard of RAGBRAI?". It's an annual bicycle ride from the Missouri to the Mississippi river, across the state of Iowa. It attracts 10 to 20 thousand people each year.
Another thing, several people said that Marie's picked up my accent hehe
That's About It
We've been back a couple of days now and are starting to get reoriented to the time difference. Trying to stay awake past 8 P.M. is still a challenge--it still feels like 2 A.M. There isn't a lot to say about the trip back. We got to the airport early and had no trouble getting our boarding passes and going through Customs there. The flight was delayed about an hour but we got to Chicago in plenty of time to clear Immigration and ...
Who knew Iowa had so much corn?
... ll just run to the store for milk". See you in a couple of hours! Iowa- MORE CORN.. who would have thought Iowa grew so much corn. So we asked Siri " what do they do with all the corn in Iowa." Ethanol. Here was the trivia factoid of the day. Turns out Iowa is the top producing corn state in the country. ( Not the Corn Huskers of Nebraska!) 47% goes to ethanol production and they produce 30% of the ethanol. Who knew. Turns out Illinois is #2. ...

I have been staying in the Morgan Hill location for a week now...so far my experience has been great!...room was clean, housekeeping is out everyday. My only complaint was that the front desk have way too many friends and family visiting during the day...someone just needs to take them as a group and explain that this is their job, and it's not ok to have sooo many people drop by ..and stay. And if they are going to do it, they should keep it on the sly...way too loud! I think one of them did their laundry..not in the Laundromat, but in the hotel laundry room....the manager needs to get the crew reigned in,, if he did that would make all the difference in the world!

Sooners, Stoops say no thanks to role of spoiler
To me there's nothing to be gained by spoiling anything. To me, they're the ones in that position. We gain nothing spoiling what they're doing. We gain a lot by winning the Big 12 championship. That's our whole deal." Since 1911, the Sooners have challenged for a national title at least once every decade except during the 1990s. The Tigers, however, are in new territory. •Missouri is ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press poll for only the second week in school history, the previous time being Nov. 14, 1960. Oklahoma has spent 95 weeks at No. 1, which is tied with Notre Dame for the all-time lead. •MU ranks 36th all-time with 193 appearances in the AP poll. OU ranks fourth all-time with 658 appearances. •The Tigers haven't won a conference crown since 1969. Win Saturday night and the Sooners will claim their 41st conference title. •This will be MU's first Big 12 title game. This will be OU's sixth in the last eight seasons. •New Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe will present the championship trophy to Saturday night's winner. Old commissioner Kevin Weiberg presented OU with four championship trophies. Missouri players never even met Weiberg. These stark differences could mean something Saturday night, or they could mean absolutely nothing. "Experience sure doesn't hurt," Stoops said. "But each game you win and lose on its own merit." From an historical perspective, Missouri is no match for OU. But Saturday's game is about this year, not years past. It's about one team continuing its quest for the national crown, and another team ending its quest for the conference crown. And in the way, stands a spoiler — or whatever word you prefer.

Following the success of American Sniper, Clint Eastwood has found his next project, which will once again be a biopic. Eastwood has signed on to direct a movie focusing on airline pilot Captain Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger. Captain Sullenberger rose to prominence in 2009, when he managed to land a plane on the Hudson River following an engine accident, with no casualties as a result of his actions. The screenplay for the film will come from Perfect Stranger scribe Todd Komarnicki, who will adapt the book Highest Duty: My Search For What Really Matters, which was co-authored by Sullenberger himself.
In their announcement of the film, Warner Bros. had this to add.
it will go beyond Sullenberger's almost impossible and much-heralded achievement of safely landing a jumbo jet on the water, which was captured on video and viewed around the world. But behind the scenes, a drama was unfolding that could »

The remake nobody asked for is coming this Christmas with Point Break, a new approach to the 1991 action thriller of the same name that was directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starred Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. The film has become an action classic, but that's not stopping Hollywood from trying to cash in on its legacy with a new version starring Edgar Ramirez (Deliver Us from Evil) and Luke Bracey (The November Man). Now the first photos have been unveiled after some footage was shown at CinemaCon in Las Vegas yesterday, and at least now we know that Ramirez surfs and Bracey runs. That's exciting, right? Here's our first look at Ericson Core's remake of Point Break from Warner Bros. Pictures: Point Break is directed by Ericson Core (Invincible), who is also the director of photography on the film written by Kurt Wimmer (Salt, Street Kings, Total Recall). A young FBI agent, »

Starring: Brad Pitt, Shia Labeouf, Jon Bernthal, Michael Pena, Logan Lerman
Certificate: 15
Running Time: 134 Minutes
Extras: Blood Brothers, Director's Combat Journal, Armoured Warriors: The Real Men Inside the Shermans, Taming the Beast: How to Drive, Fire & Shoot Inside a 30 Ton Tank, Deleted and Extended Scenes.
With the films End Of Watch, Sabotage and the Academy Award-winning Training Day (Dark Blue, Street Kings and Harsh Times also noted), David Ayer has crafted a series of brilliantly layered, American crime-themed, impactful street warfare flicks, intent on shocking and running its viewer through the proverbial mill. Employing a gung-ho, significantly unique shooting style with his directorial efforts, Ayer also makes us sit up and take note with underlying political messages combined with streams of in-your-face bloody movie violence. It is no surprise that the filmmaker has chosen to focus his attention on Fury, an action-drama set during the »

Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight was arrested early this morning in connection with a hit-and-run accident on a commercial set for Straight Outta Compton. The incident killed at least one man, whom many thought was original Battlestar Galactica star Terry Carter, but instead turned out to be a close friend of Knight's. Suge Knight's attorney James Blatt originally confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that one of the victims was in fact the 86-year-old Carter, who also starred in the 1970s TV series McCloud. But this was later corrected. Associated Press claims the unidentified victim who died at a local hospital was 55 years old. TMZ reports that he worked at a tow truck company in Compton, with witnesses claiming him to be, "an Og in the neighborhood." Accounts of the incident, which happened late Thursday, are still not quite clear at this time.
